|
4.
|
Click Two Source Files (Mixing). Two input fields for entering the desired files appear.
|
5.
|
Enter the desired file in .wav format in the Main Source (Channel 1): field. Channel 1 sets the total length of the recording duration.
|
6.
|
Enter the desired file in .wav format in the Secondary Source (Channel 2): field.
|
|
A window appears in which the individual internal processing steps are listed one after the other. You can see the steps performed, but cannot take any action.
|
8.
|
In the next window, Preprocessing and Cutting, use the slider to set the required playback duration for the first file (main source, channel 1). The times are displayed in seconds.
|
9.
|
Then define the duration for the voice announcement for the second file (secondary source, channel 2) as well in the window. The times are likewise displayed in seconds.
|
10.
|
Listen to your music by pressing the Play key in the Test field.
|
12.
|
In the Volume and Mixing window, use the slider to set the volume for the main source and the secondary source. The set value is displayed in decibels.
|
13.
|
Under Mixing, select the Channel 2 Delay in seconds.
|
|
Channel 1 usually contains the music piece to be played, and channel 2 the desired voice announcement, which is played after a delay. Channel 2 should always be shorter than channel 1.
|
|
Two options are available for specifying the delay:
|
a) You can enter value for the delay directly under Edit. In this case, the delay can only be set in increments of full seconds. Alternatively,
b) press the Only Channel 2 key during the playback of channel 1.
|
• |
Enable the check box Only Channel 1. With this check box you specify that only channel 1 should be played on pressing the Play key.
|
|
• |
Now press the Play key to play channel 1.
|
|
• |
Click the Mark Start of Channel 2 key (during the playback of channel 1) to specify the start of the voice announcement (channel 2).
|
|
|
You can also do this by setting a value. However, the smallest increment is then always 1 second, whereas with the key, even fractional values such as 1.5 seconds are possible.
|
|
If the delay and the duration of channel 2 are longer than the duration of channel 1, then an error message will appear for case (a), or the Start Channel 2 pressed for case (b) will be ignored.
|
14.
|
Test the result by clearing the Only Channel 1 check box and then pressing the Play key.
|
15.
|
Under Mixing, select the Level Reduction on Channel 1 as a percentage value.
|
|
This will reduce the volume of background music on channel 1 by the specified percentage value while playing the voice announcement of channel 2. Reducing the volume by 100 percent causes channel 1 to be to be fully suppressed.
|
17.
|
Now define a name (file.bin or file.wav) and a folder for storing the edited track.
|
|
The generation takes a few seconds and is followed by a message confirming the success of the operation.
